existential threat to Quincy.

when no one is injured

By your logic, if someone were to put a single bullet in a six shot revolver, spin the barrel, point it at your head, and pull the trigger, and you got lucky, then that wouldn't be much of a crime, since nobody was injured.

Do you know anyone who has suffered from beatings?

Do you know anyone who has been killed by a drunk driver?

Did you ever see a child who has been beaten? A woman who is battered?

Have you ever witnessed the absolute destruction of a family, of a circle of friends, of a life caused by a drunk driver?

Afghanistan was self defense.

The stock market crash had little if anything to do with Bush (he actually did a few things that might have prevented it until he ran into Congress). If you want a bogeyman on that, talk to Bernanke and the Fed. In all honesty all kinds of blame going back a decade for a massive systemic failure. Banks, mortgage brokers, fund managers, even homebuyers themselves.

As for the other war, yeah maybe Bush, but if you recall, in the end it came down to Saddam refusing to let the inspectors in for the 100th time. He called Bush's bluff. But Bush wasn't bluffing. In hindsight he should've been, but it's easy to monday morning quarterback that one when you aren't responsible for Saddam lobbing a dirty bomb into Tel Aviv -or closer to home.

And go back to civics class. The congress controls the purse. The president just signs off on the budget. Clinton gets some credit for compromising. But it was a republican congress that actually did the legwork.

Don't forget, the stock market crashed right after Clinton left office too. And that balanced budget owed a lot to excesses that occurred on Clintons watch. Again though, if you want to find the real Bogeyman - look at the Fed and Greenspan and what they did after Long Term Capital crashed.

Bush had somewhere between little and nothing to do with the financial crisis. Read up on it. Ross-Sorkin's too big to fail is a good start. The economy rebounding had zero to do with Obama. It happened because the Fed made money essentially free (which sooner or later will cause the next crisis that will get blamed on a sitting president).

As for thousands to die? As i said, there's fair blame to an extent on Bush for Iraq. But keep in mind, at the end of the day, the senate authorized the war. This wasn't a one man police action.

Or are you forgetting? Or perhaps never remembering?
